Applied for PHD programs this cycle, got some interviews, but didn't get in. I'm going to do a 2 year masters program instead and then am thinking of reapplying right after that. What are people's thoughts on re-applying to some of the same POIs in that future cycle that I applied to this cycle? Is that frowned upon? Also, I'll be doing research with a professor in her lab at my masters program. If I end up really liking her/the lab, could I technically apply for the PHD to work with her and stay at the institution for the PHD? Just looking for opinions! Thanks!

anybody have any insight on this: i'm highly considering attending UMass Boston for my masters but have no idea where I should be looking specifically for housing--my sig. other and I want an apartment of our own and I don't want too bad of a commute because I'll have classes daily. does anyone have suggestions as to what parts I should be looking into/near UMass Boston? I'm an out-of-state-er so I don't know too much about boston. things of importance to us are socialization/lgbt friendly areas and again the commute to UMB. any insight at all would be greatly appreciated!!

has anyone completed a masters interview for clinical mental health and/or mental health counseling? if so--any insight as to what the interview process was like? thanks!

ahh thank you for taking the time to respond to this! appreciate all this advice. i'll definitely have to ask the professor some questions for clarification--thanks again

@nervous_nellie @juhidee119 @eeepsych13 Thanks for the input! I'm very interested in working with a specific lab at one of the masters programs and the professor who heads this lab reached out to me saying she would be interested in having me in her lab. So-I'd be getting research experience with this masters program, but do you think I'd get compensated some how if I was an RA in this masters program? Would I be given a stipend..? I'd imagine I'd get some sort of compensation right? Maybe not tuition, but an assistantship of some sort? thanks again...this is all overwhelming hahaha

So after assuming rejection/waitlist for the PhD programs I applied to, I'm weighing my options from here on out. I have some masters programs that I could attend (not sure about funding though--probably no funding there) or I'm wondering if I should take a paid RA position for a year and reapply to PhD programs next year, forgoing the masters program/degree. Any suggestions as to if this would be A. Be a smart move and B. Where I could look to find RA positions? Thanks & much appreciated!

BV!

? thanks again.

? thanks again.

Okay thanks! What were your POIs initials, out of curiosity?

Anyone hear back from Clark U's Clinical program?

wondering the same but for TC's Counseling Psych. PhD program not Clinical

no pressure but which school was this..? something similar happened to me with my school and im just curious...

alright, good deal--thanks!

do most POIs just accept one student or could they potentially accept two?
